As the Asian Swing of the LPGA Tour reaches its final stage, all eyes are on the Blue Bay LPGA 2025, taking place on the picturesque Hainan Island in China. The competition is heating up as the weekend rounds commence, with 74 top-notch players vying for the championship title and a piece of the generous prize purse.
Among the contenders are golfing luminaries Danielle Kang and Ruoning Yin, who have successfully made the cut. Yin even presented Kang with a congratulatory cake, adding a dash of camaraderie to the intense competition. However, it’s not just about the title; it’s also about the substantial prize money awaiting the winners.
The total prize pool for the Blue Bay LPGA 2025 has climbed to an impressive $2.5 million, a significant increment of $300,000 from the previous year. This augmentation was anticipated, considering the LPGA Tour had declared a record-breaking 75th season schedule, boasting a total purse value of $131 million.
In the 2024 edition of the tournament, Bailey Tardy walked away with a hefty $330,000 after clinching the title. According to Golf Monthly, the champion of the 2025 tournament will pocket an even more substantial sum of $375,000. Players who manage to bag a spot in the top five will earn over $105,000, unless there are ties. Additionally, participants ranked from 65th to 74th will have the opportunity to share $5,809 in prize money, depending on the final leaderboard.
Here’s a look at the prize distribution for the 2025 Blue Bay LPGA, offering an insight into what the players are battling for:
– 1st place: $375,000
– 2nd place: $235,814
– 3rd place: $171,066
– 4th place: $132,333
– 5th place: $106,513
The prize money continues to scale down, with the 65th place securing $5,809.
Now, on to the potential victors of the tournament. After a remarkable start, Ayaka Furue, Nasa Hataoka, and Cassie Porter have emerged as likely favorites. Meanwhile, Jeeno Thitikul, the Thai pro, cannot be discounted due to her recent excellent form.
Il precedente campione Gaby Lopez potrebbe anche fare un ritorno. Ha un curriculum impressionante in questo torneo e potrebbe assicurarsi il suo secondo titolo Blue Bay LPGA con una forte prestazione domenica. Tuttavia, sembra improbabile che Danielle Kang, attualmente T58, possa rappresentare una minaccia significativa per il titolo.
